Picasa!

Dear Ron,

I am addicted to facebook and I upload all of my pictures on there to organize them. Is there a way to organize albums like this on my computer if I don't want to show them all to the world? I mean, can I tag them up so that I can search by person?

Please help!

Why actually young addicted friend, there is! It's called Picasa! It is a program that has been bought out by Google. The program is pretty cool actually, and I use it myself. It scans your entire computer for pictures incase you don't know where they are all hiding.

My only piece of advice is not to update when Google asks you to.

I like the unupdated version better and I think it runs smoother as well.

There is a link to the program on the right hand navigation (the one that says 'Get photo software from google')! Download it and see it for yourself!

And as usual.. Click an ad and support this website! :)

Dear ron,

I have no idea what to get my boyfriend for christmas, i just spent a whole lotta money for his birthday and i'm poor in general. he doesn't really need anything, but would like practically anything i get him. he likes music and guitars and plenty of other stuff. WHAT SHOULD I DO?--Please help

Alright well he likes music and guitars eh? Does he have Guitar Hero? I'm sure he is a very good guitar player and he loves playing the real thing, but sometimes playing a video game is just so much fun. I'm not sure what exactly your budget is, but I think you can get the combo of guitar hero and the game for 70$...

If that is too much, then you can always get him the original NES or SNES gaming system with a classic Mario game. People forget about these consoles, but they often make very sweet gifts and take you on a trip down memory lane.

If he doesn't like video games..

Make him something! Make him a basket of stuff he likes but doesn't get very much. For instance, if there is a certain energy drink he loves to get but never gets it because they don't sell it anywhere---find it! Perhaps he likes a certain candy?

If you don't like that idea... then...

Well.. goodluck...

Here are some good online shopping websites:

Amazon.com

Buy.com

eBay!

Hope this helps! Best of luck! Oh yeah... Click an ad (But only once per computer, or else they will put me down as fraud O_O).

Ambiguouslygay, Atlanta Writes...

dear ron,

i really need some advice. I have a flamingly homosexual roomate, and I don't know what to do. The biggest problem is that I don't know if I'm gay or not. I try to figure this out by watching him sleep every night while I play with his hair. He threw water on me this morning and it really turned me on. I'd really like some advice.

Thanks,
Ambiguouslygay, Atlanta

Well, if your roommate is a flaming homosexual, and you are sure of this, then the first part of your problem is solved. The fact that he DOES swing that way. However, now you have two dilemmas: 1) You might not be gay. 2) He might not be interested in you. So for the first part of this troubled equation, you must know if you are gay. Make sure that you are actually gay. Are you attracted to women? Do you find the curves of their bosoms and bottoms attractive? Are you attracted to men? Do you find their muscular arms comforting when you need someone to go cry to? If you answered yes to both of these, then you are bisexual. However, I urge you to reconsider your sexual orientation and be sure you are what you are because that is who you are and not because of the pressures of society or the pressures of your roommate.

Now the second part to see if he likes you in that way, or if he likes you just as a friend. If he is more touchy feely with you than with other homosexual guys, he likes you. Unless he is a shy person. If he lets you pay when y'all go out together, that might be an inclination that he likes you.

Well, I hope these words helped. This might be the only half way serious post ever.

Why Pressurepick.com?

So someone asked me why I picked pressurepick.com as the domain for my blog. Well frankly I don't know. Perhaps I want to pressure you into picking an ad to click. Not that I am condoning erroneous ad clicking, but some extra change is always nice.

This brings me to my next unrelated point: "That's my 2 cents"

Where do they come off with a phrase like that?! I mean, that's like saying: Well, I think my thoughts are worth pocket lint, but let me tell you anyway.

Okay, so I know there are those smart asses reading this out there thinking, "Wow, what an uneducated person to say such things; that phrase makes complete sense!"

Well, for those people, I bet you didn't know this:

"Put my two cents in" originates from the older "put my two bits in" and has its origin in the game of poker. When playing poker you have to make a small bet before the cards are dealt called an "ante" to begin play in that hand.
This phrase draws an analogy to the poker ante (two bits) and gains your entry into the conversation.

Two bits means one quarter (currently the American twenty five cent piece). This comes from the older term "piece of eight".

Today we have coins minted in different denominations - nickel, dime, and quarter in the U.S. - but this was not always so. Gold and silver coins once served as currency, with the value of the coin equal to the value of the gold or silver contained in the coin. To obtain currency valued at less than a full gold coin, coins would be scored and split into pieces. This is how one would make change so to speak.

Coins could be split into halfs, quarters, and eighths. One eighth of a coin was called a "piece of eight" and also called a "bit". Two pieces of eight is equal to one quarter. Hence "two bits" is a quarter.

So there you have it. The reason I chose pressurepick.com

My first Blog Post ever.

I'm not really good at writing, and I'm not quite sure why I have a blog anyway, but I thought I'd start one for the hell of it. I don't think I am good at giving advice, but if someone asks for it, I would love to give some bad advice. So e-mail me some questions, and I will respond with some bad advice.

That's about it for now, and oh yeah, this picture of sushi looks kind of cool and trendy, so I thought I'd ad it somewhere in here. Oh and please click on an ad; it costs you nothing, but pays me something :)
